Skeletal muscular mRNA expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-γ (a), adiponectin (b), acyl-coenzyme A:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT)-1 (c) and DGAT-2 (d) in rats. The fructose controls (Rhodiola 0 mg/kg) and fructose Rhodiola (50 mg/kg) group had free access to 10 % fructose in their drinking water over 18 weeks. The water controls (Rhodiola 0 mg/kg) had free access to a tap water. Rhodiola (50 mg/kg) was administered by gavage daily during the last 5 weeks. The water and fructose controls received vehicle (5 % Gum Arabic) alone. mRNA was determined by Real-time PCR and normalized to β-actin. Expression in water control was arbitrarily assigned a value of 1. Data are means ± SEM (n = 6-9 each group)
